Dear Readers,
Silver plays an important role in electrification. The metal is used in electrical contacts, control systems, and power electronics. Battery-electric vehicles require more silver than comparable internal-combustion-engine vehicles; however, consumption depends on the vehicle’s design and features.
According to the World Silver Survey 2026, global mine production rose to 846.6 million ounces in 2025. Demand stood at approximately 1.13 billion ounces. Taking recycling and other supply sources into account, a physical market deficit of about 40 million ounces remained.
The Silver Institute expects average annual demand growth of 3.4 percent for the automotive sector through 2031. However, material savings and substitution in other applications are reducing consumption per unit. A rising degree of electrification therefore does not automatically mean higher overall industrial demand for silver.
Sierra Madre Expands La Guitarra
Sierra Madre Gold and Silver - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/sierra-madre-gold-silver-ltd/ - operates the La Guitarra complex in Mexico. Following the resumption of production, the company is working to increase throughput. The expansion is intended to make better use of the existing infrastructure; its implementation depends, among other things, on technology, costs, and operational processes.
With Del Toro in Zacatecas, Sierra Madre also owns a former production complex comprising three underground mines and a flotation plant. According to the company’s plans, recommissioning work is scheduled to begin in mid-2027, with initial production to follow in mid-2028.
Silver Tiger is expanding El Tigre
Silver Tiger Metals - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/silver-tiger-metals-inc/ - is developing the El Tigre silver-gold project in Sonora. An updated preliminary feasibility study is available for the near-surface stockwork zone; the company is also exploring additional underground areas. The planned start of operations in late 2027 remains a corporate goal.
In the Caleigh vein, Silver Tiger reported 7,715 g/t silver equivalent over 2.1 meters, including a higher-grade section. The values are based on equivalence assumptions; drill hole lengths are not confirmed true thicknesses. Additionally, the company reported construction progress and the completion of a financing round of approximately 100 million CAD in October.
Conclusion: Sierra Madre and Silver Tiger on the Verge of Milestones
Electrification opens up long-term demand opportunities for silver. Sierra Madre is working on La Guitarra and Del Toro, while Silver Tiger is constructing El Tigre. Financing, permits, and operational implementation remain critical.
